The eldest prince Regal and the second prince Fred were beaten.
The nose was badly bruised and the face was swollen, and even one of Regar's legs was broken.
In the audience hall of the palace, in front of the civil and military ministers and members of the royal family, he did not care about the face of the royal family at all.
Prince Barnt and his son fought each other solely with physical skills without using magic at all.
It may be inappropriate to say that they beat each other. A more accurate statement would be that the king beat his two sons with a sword with absolute overwhelming strength.
No one stopped him, and no one came forward to plead. Everyone in the palace had complicated expressions in their eyes.
Even among the ministers who always had different political opinions, no one had too much interpretation of the behavior in front of them at this moment.
After all, the benefits of this incident outweighed the disadvantages for the entire empire, and it only wronged Her Highness the Seventh Princess.
Xu Fei looked away, unable to bear to continue looking.
After all, these two princes are also my future eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law...
He was a little confused as to why the goddess Ishtar would present such a past to him, because Leiyin did not appear in it.
"Father...why is it the Seventh Emperor's sister...can't we...can't?"
Fred lay on the ground, trying to open his swollen eyes.
He looked sadly at the father who had loved them so much, unable to understand this painful decision.
Xu Fei looked at Fred in surprise. Are the two princes doing this for Leiyin?
What exactly happened...
"You are not qualified yet..."
King Barnt looked at the sky outside the window and made a hoarse and low voice.
He did not visit his two sons and did not think it was wrong for his sons to provoke him in this way.
A king has a king's position. For the continuation of the empire, even if Lilia is his most beloved daughter, Barnt can push her into hell with his own hands.
Suddenly, a hand covered in blood tightly grasped Barnt's ankle.
"Why do you make your own judgment? Why do you think Lilia is more suitable than me?"
Regar lay on the ground, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.
Understanding does not mean agreement.
The rise and fall of the empire is important, but in Regar's heart, this should never be exchanged for the future of members of the royal family...
If there must be an exchange, it should be borne by his eldest son.
"Because... I am the king of this country, and my judgment is the judgment of the empire."
Raising his feet and shaking off his eldest son's hand, Barnt walked slowly outside the hall.
"You are an incompetent emperor who cannot even protect your daughter. Sooner or later, I will replace you and take back Lilia's future!"
Angry words poured out of Regar's mouth, piercing deeply into Barnt's heart.
His footsteps paused slightly, and his nails almost dug into his flesh, causing a trace of blood to drip from Barnt's fists.
He sighed heavily, both from his heart and to show it to his subjects.
Barnt ignored the nonsense of his heirs and continued to walk out, but his usually broad back looked a little bumpy at the moment.
The hand that quietly reached out to Fred retracted, and Xu Fei tried his best to suppress the rising anxiety and confusion and calm down.
There is no point in acting impulsively because it is just an illusion that happened in the past.
Even in the illusion, I believe no one would tell him the whole story of this uninvited guest who broke into the palace.
While several ministers were providing emergency treatment to the princes, Xu Fei's vision became blurry again.
I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I found myself in an underground secret room.
In the small space, about fifty or sixty people were crowded together, making the air seem a little thin.
King Barnt stood at the front with an expressionless face.
A group of old royal family members chanted ancient mantras.
Leiyin hugged Princess Angelica's arm tightly.
From time to time, she looked up at her father and mother with pleading eyes, but received no response.
Perhaps because she didn't want to show her weak side in front of others, Leiyin's slightly opened and closed lips never made any sound.
Over time, the strange texture carved into the center of the room gradually lights up.
Later, a large number of bluestone floor tiles collapsed and reorganized, turning into a spiral staircase leading deep underground.
Everyone walked down the bottomless stairs, and Xu Fei followed silently.
The stairs were extremely long, and after walking down for about fifteen minutes, we finally came to a huge underground cavity.
As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but bamboo shoots and soil.
King Barnt bent down and bowed deeply to the void in the distance.
The old people recited ancient sacrificial mantras, chanted the majesty of the Red Dragon King, and praised Zhuyue Avika's achievements.
At this point, Princess Angelica finally couldn't bear the sadness in her heart, and her eyes overflowed with tears.
She knelt down, held Xiao Leiyin in her arms, and made a trembling sound.
"Why...why, it became like this, my poor daughter..."
Leiyin pursed her lips and trembled constantly, and it seemed that she could still faintly hear her sobbing.
Not long after, the sacrificial chanting was completed, and King Barnt led the royal family members to leave.
Only the young Leiyin was left.
The spiral staircase gradually disappeared, the light source formed by magic gradually extinguished, and the vast underground space turned into a dark cage.
The young figure squatted on the land without light. There was silence all around. The only sounds that could be heard were the rustling of clothes and breathing.
Xiao Leiyin hugged her knees and trembled.
Her young hands grasped the long purple-black hair that slipped into her hands to relieve the pressure.
A ball of fire appeared in his hand, Xu Fei walked over, squatted in front of Xiao Leiyin and wanted to hug her gently.
Even if they know it is a false illusion, no one can watch the one they love crying without being moved.
But just when the outstretched arms were about to get close to Lei Yin, something strange happened.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't touch the opponent, and his vision was blurred for an instant.
After several attempts, Xu Fei was surprised to find that subtle changes had taken place in Leiyin.
It seemed that every time she tried to get close to the other person, her vision would become blurred. At the same time, Leiyin's body became thinner and her eyes became more hollow.
"Time...changed?"
Xu Fei froze on the spot.
This is not just a blur of vision. Although the scene has not changed, time has passed quietly.
An hour, or a day?
Heartache and anger surged into his heart, and Xu Fei couldn't understand why the Sigurd royal family would leave young Leiyin here alone.
My vision was blurry again, and I didn't know how much time had passed.
When Xu Fei looked at Leiyin's face, he found that the other person had completely lost his look.
Darkness and loneliness are the best breeding grounds for driving people crazy.
